Attaching a dashboard to a sheet

Jbuxton · 09/27/21

I am trying to figure out how to attach a dashboard to a sheet, is this possible? I only see the options for uploading from the computer and links like google drive (see picture below, to the right)

Thanks!

Hi @Jbuxton

I hope you're well and safe!

You can add the link to the Dashboard.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Hi Andree, I need to link the dashboard to the sheet, is that possible?

Thank you for responding!

Happy to help!

Not sure I follow!

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)

There is a screen shot in the original post, can you see it? It is the sheet that I need to attach the dashboard to, if you look to the right of the photo you will see what my options are when I hit the attachment clip on the left....

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment to select a Dashboard as an attachment, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment

You could either add it as a link, use the sheet summary section, add a field, or use the hyperlink feature. You could also use the hyperlink feature in a cell in the sheet.

Make sense?

Would any of those options work/help?

It is going to be a "live" dashboard that gets updates frequently so would linking it work? Also, is there a way to attach a sheet to a sheet?

Still not sure I follow!

Can you elaborate on the process and use case?

Morning Andree,

So if you see in the screenshot in the original post, I have a sheet tracking our current jobs (we are a construction management company). For each of these jobs I have a dashboard tracking job info (charts and such) and another sheet that is connected to the dashboard for the charts to pull their info from. I wanted to attach both the project dashboard and the info sheet, to the line on the "mother" smartsheet I have going that has all of our active jobs. Does this make sense?
